Question
Which of the following statements is correct in regards to both mammals?ABlood is delivered to the glomerulus by the afferent capillary.BThe Bowman’s capsule is responsible for creating urine from filtrate.CThe distal convoluted tubule always reabsorbs large amounts of water.DThe proximal convoluted tubule removes glucose, amino acids, and water from the blood.
Solution
The correct statement in regards to both mammals is "The proximal convoluted tubule removes glucose, amino acids, and water from the blood."
Here's why:
A. Blood is delivered to the glomerulus by the afferent arteriole, not the afferent capillary.
B. The Bowman’s capsule is responsible for the initial filtration of blood to form filtrate, not for creating urine from filtrate.
C. The distal convoluted tubule does not always reabsorb large amounts of water. The amount of water reabsorbed can vary depending on the body's needs.
D. The proximal convoluted tubule does indeed remove glucose, amino acids, and water from the blood. This is part of the process of reabsorption, where useful substances are taken back into the body.
